Couldn't find anything in writing about the timing. Normally, it seems to me they run these around 1700 L Memphis time, with results fairly quickly thereafter. May not be out this PM, but certainly should be posted by tomorrow AM.

The bid closes at 1500 according to the FCIC -- It would make sense that the practice bids would too.

........with the news at 1700 L Mempho friday evening that posting 09-02 is cancelled due to overwhelming costs from training, buying houses, move packages, management ineptness, etc, etc, etc.......

Unfortunately, I don't think so this time. Lots of moves for lots of folks. Wish it were not so, but .........

I agree, think they are going to bite the bullet this time.

Just remember this is a practice bid...nothing ever runs like the practice does. Final closes March 16th...Happy St. Patricks Day, even more reason to drink the green beer!

I wouldn't expect anything to get cancelled until after 09-01 gets the 20 vacancies in the right seat filled(with little to no passover pay) and they get 2 more guys in the right seat. After that, I wouldn't be suprised if they say," we are cancelling the parts of 09-02 and 09-03 that will cost too much money to move guys to and from ANC!"

With all the canceled bids lately, how can anybody take this bid seriously? Does anybody really think they'll get what they bid (except for those who bid HKG)?
